/**
 * There are two basic types of events:
 * <ol>
 * <li>BIOLOGICAL: an event that occurs completly randomly (ie. death, birth)</li>
 * <li>DEFAULT (NONBIOLOGICAL): an event that people "chose" the date, ie.
 * people chose when to do a christening, baptism, marriage, etc.</li>
 * </ol>
 * This distiction is made because birth and death are slightly better
 * indicators of a match than other events that people "chose" the dates of,
 * since these are psudo-random (lurking variables). A good example is LDS
 * baptisms usually happen on Saturdays, so a matching baptism is less of an
 * indicator than a matching death date that they have no control over. When in
 * doubt, leave it default. Use Biological only for truly random events, the
 * only two I know are death and birth.
